You're beyond welcome to join your friends in Chicago's Burning Man Community for Decompression 2010 (Little Playa on the Prairie). This B.U.R.N. NFP-sponsored community event brings the open-hearted energy and creative spirit of the Burning Man Project to our great city for thirteen magical hours.

On Saturday, November 6th you and hundreds of your closest friends will create your version of Black Rock City on the 5th floor of the East Bank Storage facility, a Bridgeport storage, studio, and event space that's booked and confirmed to give us 15,000+ square feet in which to play! This community-arts event will be - as always - for you, and by you, complete with music, art installations, food, friends, family and FUN!

This year's theme is Little Playa on the Prairie. Think bonnets, top hats, pioneers and covered wagons. This is the Land of Lincoln y'all, the Prairie State, so we're going back in time to the days of our homeboy Abe Lincoln, a time when Chicago was just an up-and-coming little burgh bridging the East Coast with the Western states.

This event will be conducted in accordance with the Ten Principles of the Burning Man Regional Network. Full financial reports will be available to this community after Decompression is over.

Wanna help? GREAT! Email your Volunteer Co-ordinator and Decompression Co-Lead, Krueger, at kruegers.time@gmail.com, or just go here and tell us you're interested in helping out with Decomp in the last box.

Artists of all media! Bring out what you got! Contact Elysia Lock, our Art Curation Team Lead at elysialock@gmail.com.
